Pet Sitting in Lewes

“Madeline did a fantastic job as always! She watched our cats during bad winter weather and was great at communicating and made us feel our cats were safe and cared for!”

About: First, I apologize for the dog poo pictures in my profile. I had a sick dog here and had to quickly get the owner pictures and forgot to uncheck the box that automatically adds the photos I send to my profile and Rover prohibits the deletion of these photos. Ok- I have an affinity for all dogs, having cared for my family dogs growing up and then my own for the last 12 years, but I have a soft spot for those older dogs that need a but more time and patience. I just laid to rest my very best friend, Josie; she was likely 16. I have plenty of time to spend with your dog right now, after just losing my k9 companion, and would love to care for them in your absence either with visits, walks, daycare or boarding. I am a clean, organized, responsible dog companion who pays attention to the needs of your best friend and is respectful of your home and property. Please respect mine, and plan to drop off your dog for boarding only after being recently bathed and/or groomed.

“Siara was a wonderful sitter for our cat. She gave timely updates and shared cute photos. We did our meet and greet virtually as a video chat and she understood all of the directions, even the medications.”

“Sherrie was amazing! Went out of her way to come and meet Avalon and get familiar with our space. Then took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. Great with updates and photos of their adventures. Will absolutely ask Sherrie for dog sitting again.”

About: It was never quiet growing up with as many as four dogs in the house at a time (plus a cat, bird, hamster, turtles, geckos, and fish - and working at a local horse barn throughout high school and college). It’s not quiet now as my senior rescue dachshund loves to let you know when the mail lady has dared to leave a package on the porch. All that to say, I’m comfortable and have always been around a variety of pets. Since Dec. 2023, I’ve been a volunteer dog walker for Humane Animal Partners (HAP), in Rehoboth. There, I’ve walked countless dogs, ranging from ones who are ready to take on the world to ones who need to know you’ve got their back and need you to go slow. I have experience taking care of older dogs, my first rescue was 9 when I got him and my current rescue is 11 and a slow mover. I work from home during normal business and have some flexibility during the day depending on the day. I can do overnight stays during the work-week, but need to discuss your pet’s daytime needs to make sure it’s a good fit. I’m happy to give your dog the time and attention s/he needs to be as relaxed as possible while you’re away. Between having shy dogs of my own and volunteering at the animal shelter, I give dogs space and allow them time to sniff and warm up to me before we go out. I’ll take your lead as to things I need to know about what makes your dog’s personality shine.

“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat Bandida! Bandida was in good spirits when we got home, I can tell she got enough attention and care while we were gone. Rachel was easy to communicate with and followed all instructions. Will be booking her again in the future. Thanks!”

About: Taking care of animals has always come very naturally to me! As a child I liked to run around the farm I lived on searching for kittens and petting horses. As someone who has loved and nurtured many of my own pets over the years, I naturally gravitated towards taking care of others beloved fur children. I have knowledge of different diets and have had both cats and dogs on raw diets as well as standard diets. I also have experience with senior animals, and their special needs. I started out helping friends or parents of friends when they would travel and have now found myself offering services to others and growing my business. I absolutely love pet sitting and helping families feel comfortable as they travel or are at work for the day. When I am at your home I make sure to not only nurture and love on your pets but to take care of your space. I offer daily updates if preferred and collect mail, keep things tidy, etc. I am able to give some medicine if required and enjoy the company of all ages of animals. I have experience mostly with cats and dogs but am open to taking care of smaller critters too. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet and greet! I offer pet sitting at your home Monday-Sunday with a flexible schedule. I am available for drop ins and overnight stays. My main focus is pet sitting. When staying with your pet or even just dropping in, I can feed, play, crate, or give some meds to your pet if necessary. I am able to take walks or run around for a bit in the back yard. My goal is to always make the pet and the owner feel as comfortable as possible while maintaining a normal routine where necessary. I ask that owners leave detailed instructions so I can accommodate your animals as best as possible. I also request that any cameras in the home be notified to myself before I stay and I like to be clear that my partner may sometimes stay with me for overnights.

“Kelly was fabulous. My cats were well cared for as was my home. I got daily pictures showing her interaction with them, so clearly she did more than just fill up food bowls. I was very happy with Kelly & will definitely use her services again, as well as recommend her. My time away was much less stressful knowing my cats weren't alone the entire time. And of course, my cats were much happier too. Thank you Kelly ??”

About: I have grown up with dogs and adore them. I have signed up with rover.com to offer dog walking and pet sitting on a part time basis after work and on the weekends. In the past, I have volunteered at BARCS as a dog walker and have helped family members & friends with their dogs while they were on vacation. I enjoy dog walking and giving dogs TLC by cuddling or playing by throwing a ball around or tug of war. Most of my experiece has been with small and medium dogs of different breeds, however, I mostly walked large dogs at BARCS so I can help with large dogs as long as they are well behaved on a leash. Psychology background helps with understanding behavior. This background includes extensive work with college students that have documented disabilities. Patient and physically active throughout the year. Why I love dog sitting * This is an update to the profile information listed below. I adopted a Senior Boston Terrier 4 ago so I took a break from Rover.com. She is older now so it is a good time to get back on rover part time until my schedule changes. I have been a dog lover since I was a baby. My mom told me I used to chase the dogs in my baby walker. My immediate family owned small dogs and the rest of my family owned medium and large dogs. Some of the breeds that I had with my family were pugs and a Pekingese. I have taken care of Cocker spaniels, Yorkshire terriers, German Shepard and black labs who were owned by friends/family. When I volunteered at BARCS, I walked dogs that were mostly pit bulls, rotties and mixed breeds (usually pit bull mixes). My experience administering medication I have experience with routine items like giving heart worm pills and flea & tick spray/lotion, as well as some experience with ear infection medication. I am not opposed to administering medication it if the owner is willing to provide training and if the dog is comfortable with me. I work full time. I’m available on a part time basis in the evenings during the week and on the weekends. If I’m off from work, I’m happy to help as well. I treat other peoples dogs like family. I don’t offer dog boarding in my home because my work schedule doesn’t permit it. But, if I’m house sitting at another persons home, I’ll make sure I’m following the instructions/routine from the pet owner, give the dog/s plenty of TLC, playtime and food. I’ll also make sure the dogs are secure in their owners home, and keep the place tidy.

“Marie made eight drop-in visits for our cat Ashes. And unlike past sitters who rarely caught a glimpse of our very shy 16-year-old, Ashes apparently couldn’t wait for Marie to arrive. She also sent us several photos. Well done Marie!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for approximately 5 years, gaining a strong understanding of their needs, routines, and care requirements. While I don’t have formal professional pet care experience, I am highly responsible, organized, and detail oriented. As a 4th year med student, I’m used to managing my time effectively and staying on top of responsibilities, which makes me an excellent caregiver for your dog. I’m committed to ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I’ve completed my 4th year rotations, so I have a lot of flexibility for pet sitting, walks, and drop in visits! I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate your pup’s schedule. Whether it’s for a quick check in, a walk, or full day care, I’m happy to provide personalized care. I live near a dog park, which is great for walks and giving your pup an active experience. I provide a comfortable and safe space for your dog to relax and have fun. I’m committed to offering dependable, safe care for your dog whether it’s a walk, sitting, or drop in.

“Absolutely thrilled with Sam’s services! She maintained contact with us providing updates and photos of all 3 of our pups. It was wonderful to have peace of mind knowing they were cared for.”

About: I’ve taken care of my baby- Foxey for all 12 of her years. I also regularly take care of a large dog, a cat and a puppy weekly. I have experience with both big and small dogs, although mostly ones on the smaller side and am no stranger to administering medication. I also once housed a leopard gecko, so I’m open to other animals as well! I work in the early mornings, no longer than 5 hours typically. I have classes some days of the week but I’m generally pretty flexible. I’ve been successful in balancing taking care of pets and my own schedule. I do need Monday nights off as I’m a nanny those nights, but other than that I’m pretty free. I love to pet and snuggle them if they are bed bugs, and I’m also cool to just chill and walk them if they are more of a reserved dog. My dog is very nervous and reserved to anyone else but me so I get it lol

About: Since I was raised on the farm as a child, I've come to respect and love all types of animals. Also, having helped foster/find homes for over 25 dogs in the last couple years, has only heightened my passion for helping animals. I currently work as a house keeper/dog nanny (Mon-Fri 9am-1:30pm), but am available afternoons and nights & have weekends free. If you need help with your pups outside of this availability, feel free to message - I'm always willing to do what I can to make things work. In my own house, my pets are my life. That being said, I take pride in being as knowledgeable, conscience and affectionate as I can be with them. Any animal under my care would receive the same amazing treatment !

“Chelsea was wonderful! She was so patient with our hardheaded shepherd mix and really won both our dogs over. Will absolutely request her assistance again and highly recommend her.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years in my own home, others' homes, and at local shelters. Dogs are better friends than people and I truly just love their cuteness and cuddles always. I have had experience with dogs of all ages, with disabilities (blind), and with dogs with severe allergies/medical issues. I have never lived in a house without a dog and I hope that never changes. I am a full-time college student with blocks of hours of free time. I am super active so I love a good walk/playtime but also love a couch cuddle session. My classes are not overly time-consuming in my days, leaving me with plenty of time to care for your animals! I will always follow YOUR rules, not my own. It is your house and I am just a guest and I will always respect that. Dogs are just as important as humans, so I will care for them like they are one.
